PSA: Earthbound now available for Wii U eShop

Classic Super Nintendo RPG Earthbound is available on the Wii U eShop today, for $9.99.

The Super Nintendo RPG Earthbound has finally hit the Wii U eShop today, for $9.99. Though the main eShop page doesn't feature the game as of the time of writing, it can be pulled up and purchased by searching for it.

We heard from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in April that it would be coming later this year. The decision was apparently made to meet the demands of vocal fans, as Earthbound has gained cult classic status. Don't get your hopes too high for another installment, though, as the series creator has referred to a sequel as "impossible."
